How long have you been working at the Club?
I have been working at the Club for about 15 years. One of the best things about working here for so long has been seeing the organization’s transformation over the years. When I started, there was only one Club site. We now have units in Asbury Park and Red Bank, sites in Long Branch and Neptune, and school-based programs throughout Monmouth County. I have stayed so long because of the great team of people I would work with who are all committed to supporting children in the community. The hard work of our entire team makes the process of grant development much easier.
What was it about the Club that drew you to the organization?
The mission of the Club is what drew me to the organization. Having my own children, I recognized the value of empowering kids to reach their potential. I felt I could help contribute to the organization and help build better futures.
What has been the most rewarding aspect of working at the Club?
The most rewarding aspect of working at the Club is seeing the direct result of grant development on the organization. Grant funding has helped launch and support programs like Project L.E.A.D., Trauma-Informed Care, and Y-Media. It is also helped us improve the facility, produce professional development opportunities, and provide scholarships for programs. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing how my role has a direct impact on our community.
